PERSONAL PROTECTIVE EQUIPMENT and EMERGENCY RESPONSE

COURSE SYLLABUS

Course Description

PPE comprises the clothing and devices you wear to protect your body from contact with pesticides. Wearing PPE can reduce exposure (dermal, inhalation, ocular, or oral) and thereby lower the chances of pesticide injury, illness, or poisoning. It is important that all pesticide applicators and handlers understand the protections and limitations of PPE. Proper PPE
selection, use, and care are essential.

Although pesticide accidents and emergencies are rare, they do occur. Pesticides spilled on the ground or burning in a fire can contaminate water, soil, and air; damage plants; injure livestock, wildlife, or pets; and endanger the health of the applicator and emergency responders. Pesticide spills and fires may lead to financial loss due to cleanup, liability claims, and fines assessed by government agencies. Do all that you can to prevent accidents, but be prepared in case of emergency.

After completing this course in its entirety, participants will be able to:

• Identify where on the label to find the minimum clothing and personal protective equipment (PPE) required to handle a given pesticide product.
• State the criteria to properly select skin, eye, and respiratory protection required by the pesticide label based upon your expected use and exposure.• Discuss how pesticide releases from spills and fires can endanger humans and the environment.• Explain how to execute an emergency response plan.

I really liked your course and the way it was set up. I’m not good at computers and it was easy to use. The course was interesting. I can relate to the information and will use it.

I just wanted to say thank you offering the 60 hour pre-licensure course. I really enjoyed the video courses as well as the written. I am certain that your course is the reason that I passed my Michigan license test on the first try. Thanks again.

Matthew Jacks from Caspian, MI

Your courses are inexpensive with an easy to use platform. Much more convenient than taking time off work to go to a live course. I like that I can do it on my own time, VERY CONVENIENT!

I PASSED!!! Took the Residential Builders test for the first time today in Grand Rapids and passed both sections. Thanks so very much to everyone at BLTI. Dave, thanks for our lengthy phone conversation Monday. I’ve never worked with a more conscientious company than yours. I have been thoroughly impressed with your company since day one and absolutely impressed with Scott’s knowledge and communication skills on the video presentation. Thanks again for such a top-rate company and program.

I started your online 60-Hour program on September 1st and passed both parts of the State exam on my first try. Thank you very much. The course was great. It was a tough test. I don’t think I would have passed without your program. You gave me everything I needed. Your organization package walked me through every step. I will be taking all of my continued education through you.

You guys are so incredible! You have been nothing but positive experience. You are always helpful, you think of what we need ahead of time. We don’t take the class and get a ‘see you later’ now that you have our money — you stick with us! You treat old customers just like a new one. You’re always there for the followup!
